View Original AbstractMillimeter wave exposure at 60.4 GHz showed no significant effects on dopamine metabolism in nerve cells over 24 hours.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed nerve cells to 60.4 GHz millimeter wave radiation (the type used in 5G and some wireless systems) for 24 hours to see if it affected dopamine, a key brain chemical involved in movement and mood. They found no significant changes in dopamine production or processing, with only a slight increase in one dopamine byproduct that they attributed to heating effects. This suggests that millimeter wave exposure at these levels doesn't disrupt basic nerve cell function related to dopamine.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Effect of acute millimeter wave exposure on dopamine metabolism of NGF-treated PC12 cells.
we investigated the effects of a 24-h MMW exposure at 60.4 GHz, with an incident power density (IPD)...
Neither dopamine turnover nor DAT protein expression level were impacted by MMW exposure. However, e...
This result was related to the thermal effect, and overall, no evidence of non-thermal effects of MMW exposure were observed on dopamine metabolism.
